The last comments from you.. relax, I was joking about my ownership comment. Did you not see the beer emoji?
finally found what you're talking about. thats not the same at all, you can't even see it unless you're looking for it. its prolly not even visible if you're standing 5ft or closer to the car... the one in the CTR is big and very visible.


my bad about getting my panties in a bunch about the ownership thing...

After a quarter of a century driving an AWD turbo Mitsubishi and a quarter of a million miles driven I thought I could make an authoritative statement. Apparently not.

I think the part number is shared with an early model Ford cargo van.

The good news seems to be that Honda seems like they will produce much more than the initial #'s stated. So if you hang in there a few months, realistic prices will be around. As it is, there are MSRP sales going around to informed/persistent buyers.

No complaints here, just something I've noticed after seeing it from a few angles and next to other cars. I don't care what a car looks like, as long as it's fast and fun to drive.
The GTR is also ginormous. Big AND heavy. Friggin tank is fast, too, so... meh.

the car is not big. Bigger than the previous ones , but still not BIG. Actually i like the CTR every day more and more. Quite opposite sadly with the FoRS.

If Honda made a version with all black interior and the wing removed, I would consider it. It's clearly a great performer but that interior screams "too soon, junior".
